Ibanez SR255 Electric Bass, 5-String

The Ibanez SR255 5-string bass packs many features of the upper-end SR. With the same-SR smooth and fast neck, which is reinforced with 3 piece Maple woods, you'll never feel playing bass is difficult. It also features 24 frets which allow you to access 2-octaves easily thanks to its smooth All Access Neck Joint. Compact Nato body is lightweight and extremely comfortable for both sitting down and standing up. And, the CAP EXF-N2 pickups give you some serious growl and, in combination with the EQB-IIID 3-band eq, you'll get any sound you want.

For 25 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same-SR continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics.

"Great Bass!"

Overall:
Sound is very flexible and the tone is very good. For the money you can not beat it. The only issue I have is that the fret edges could be ground down just a touch, but everything else about this bass is absolutely perfect. From the fit and finish, to the sound, to the playablity.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"More than Expected"

Overall:
The package arrived within two business days which was cool, because it successfully satiated the instant gratification urge. Honestly, I wasn't expecting a lot because everyone knows that $350 isn't practically nothing for an instrument. Nonetheless, I needed one on a budget as I still had to buy a new rig. Ibanez carries a reputation for getting a little more sound for the buck, so I did my research and landed on this. Honestly, the addition of a Hartke bass attack pedal makes it sound closer to a SR605, so I've been happy with the sound for what it costs. First impression was that it's extremely lightweight. One major complaint is that one of the tone knobs fell off within 7 days of owning the bass, but I was able to repair it myself and have since had no cosmetic issues with the bass. Know that there's not much versatility in tone, tooling around with the fine selection of knobs you see. So that work will be left up to your effects/rig/etc. If you're reading this on a budget (like I was), know that it's a solid bass and the pearl white sounds/looks like you paid more for it which kicks ass.
